New HT M Icon announcement soon

[Batty]

Alright...who is it?

Second wave of M ICON is coming next week…… - Who will be the next legendary actor targeted by Hot Toys? Um……he is one of the greatest actors who won 2 Oscars, and his last performance was in 2006. Make a guess first and stay tuned at HotToys.com.hk, the official announcement will release after Easter Holiday.

Considering his last performance was more digital than real, I would have to say it is Marlon Brando.

 

[Batty]

I think you're right. Especially if they continue to do dead actors.

 

[fistfulmetal]

I hope it is him. I'll definitely buy the figure.

 

[Shai]

Brando.....

 

[King Darkness]

If it is Brando I wonder from what movie they will present him?

 

[plasmid303]

Brando won 2 Oscars, right? I'm not too sure.

But in any case, as cool as a new Brando figure sounds, I don't think I need another one. We just got the Jor-El figure not long ago which featured a fantastic sculpt, so I'm in no rush to buy another Brando figure.

I'll take one from Godfather or On the Waterfront though.

The Wild Ones or Waterfront or Streetcar



STELLAAAA!

ooh. he'd look like ass tho in a wifebeater unless he had a rubber bod lol

 

[Darklord Dave]

It's got to be a young Brando, they're trying to throw a mislead in there with the 2006 date. I vote for Wild Ones. Waterfront or Streetcar have boring costumes. Although Viva Zapata could be interesting.

 

[sixtus_56]

If it is Brando It would be Cool if the made him as Johnny Strabler from The Wild One...or maybe Jor-El in his Black gear

I would love to see Hilary Swank (she won 2 Oscars right ?), but I only dream awake.....

 

[plasmid303]

Hilary Swank? She's attractive and all that, but none of her characters are that memorable (imo) and she's not a man (Hot Toys explicitly said "his last performance").

Who else has won 2 Oscars and whose previous performance was in 2006? I can't think of anyone else.

 

[C-Phan]

I know but if we can "do her" before she got too old and scary in her 3rd Oscar movie (she will have another one, for sure). C'mon 2 Oscars for a young woman, it's a feat !!!
It's just a fantasy dream....at least mine..

EEEEyowza!@! that tickles my fancy

 

[bagelsncheesey]

It'll be Brando, but the only one i'd probably buy would be McQueen.

What a pimp.

 

[Double Dare]

It most probably will be a Brando. If by the two Oscars HT means best actor awards, here's the list:

Spencer Tracy (1937, 1938)
Fredric March (1932, 1946)
Gary Cooper (1941, 1952)
Marlon Brando (1954, 1972)
Dustin Hoffman (1979, 1988)
Tom Hanks (1993, 1994)
Jack Nicholson (1975, 1997) -also Best Supporting Actor, 1983
Daniel Day-Lewis (1989, 2007)

Brando is the only one who was last seen in a movie in 2006. I hope it's a young Marlon from The Wild One.

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Well, the newsletter did seem to clear up one thing: the "M" stands for movie.

 

[Batty]

I bet it's Brando from The Wild One. And he'll be called "Biker Version".

 

[The Mike]

Safe money is on Brando from Wild One, Yulli has already nailed the Brando likeness so I'm sure she'll do it again and the costuming is in the same vein as the Cowboy Dean.....although I will admit from the list posted I'd rather a Jack Nicholson and he come from the great film Chinatown... with alternate broken nose sculpt
